Well, since i've just recently discovered Death tabs....i'd say playing some of their songs is what i like best right now.
Some of my all time favorites are bySlayer: Seasons in the Abyss, Raining Blood
....and also Carcass: This Mortal Coil

ICED EARTH - I died for you. The song is just so catchy. I love to play and sing to it, first acoustic, then rock out when it gets heavy. Its lots of fun, but other than that my favorite songs to play are my solos.

All the playground objects were alive, including the swings and the merry-go-round. A silvery-blue arch of plastic color formed and collapsed in the center. A toy little boy, or maybe she was a little girl, jumped along this object, sliding down it, hanging on with small fingers, leaping into the grass. I felt a sense of responsibility begin to resonate within me, both for the knowledge of my wife and my coming child, and the deep psychedelic responsibility of my shamanic-like path. I glanced away briefly and one of the DMT beings, tall, thin and golem-like, grasped my head and turned it back to see. The shapes kept moving, and the child was my innocence too, and it was asking me to promise to share that innocence completely with our shinebelly baby when she/he births and grows and becomes human.

I have less than a year's experience, so I still suck. . .

I can't play the solos, but Opeth's "Black Rose Immortal" is fun, in part because it's so freaking long. I LOVE long songs. . .the 'high' part about two minutes in is my favorite part.

I also like to play assorted riffs from The Haunted, Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Blind Guardian, and whatever else I can that isn't just power chords.

In Flames-Anything off of Whoracle... and a few from Jester
Fear Factory-Securitron, Replica, Smasher/Devourer
Strapping Young Lad- All Hail The New Flesh (AMAZING SONG)

I found that as soon as I played Fear Factory songs my picking ability increased greatly...and then when figuring out In Flames (the tabs here are mainly wrong btw) my fingering became far more fluid and relaxed. After that Carcass was a lot easier to pull off hehe

uuhm, I don't know yet, it depends how late my shift finishes (I'm working in the morning shift, from 5 till about 3)
So I don't know if It'll be worth it to go, it's really hard for me to find good stuff, and I've been to the 'platenbeurs' before, I only bought 6 cd's or something.

maybe I'll go and I'll tackle you, okay? you must be really easy to recognize with that cast around your arm HEHHEHHEHE

I really bought some good shit at de beurs, man. If I could spent more mony I defenetly did!
I bought 3 Pantera singles (planet caravan, broken/slaughter PT 1&2) and teh Cowboys from hell fucking hostile bootleg. Plus the Terminator Metallica bootleg.

And in january there'll be a metal market in 013 in Tilburg. I'm defenetly going!

Easiest song ever: Manowar - The sting of the bumblebee (the bass stuff)

Seriously though, Iced Earth stuff is pretty easy, like Damien, Wolf (intro), some parts of The phantom opera ghost. I've only heard Horror Show stuff, but I think most other stuff would be easy too.

And I'm not beeing harsh about guitar lessons, ofcourse you can play guitar without lessons, but when you reach a certain level you won't progress anymore, if you take lessons the progression will go faster and you won't get stuck AND you'll learn your theory and techniques.
and about easy songs sucking, they do, who the fuck wants to play nirvana or offspring anyway.

?!

im totally self taught, been playing one and a half years and without bein big headed i seem to know a lot more than those who have been taught in my local area... they say their teachers often limit them but i dont know, most is down to the actual effort YOU put in

i know scales, theory, songs, have good technique etc, and ive never learnt a nirvana or pop punk song

yeah, okay but it does depends on what kinda teacher you've got, here in holland we've got special music school teachers, if you've got lessons at an music school, you'll get quality lessons, all those teacher play at E level.

highes you can reach thru lessons is D and then music college, that takes you about 6 years to reach D level.
I'm a C level myself, after 3 years so I'm a fast learner, but I did play 2 years without lessons before that, after 2 years I was pretty much getting bored, then I started to play all kinda styles of music, from jazz to samba from reggea to ska.

I was self taught for 6 years and didn't go anywhere.. because I just played the same shit over and over.. I got really good at the crap that I knew.. but I didnt' get any better.. Well I guess in a way I did.. I was about average .. Then about what 4 weeks ago I started taking lessons. And within the time i've started until now i've had 3 double time lessons because i'm moving and I already knew most of the theory stuff and i wasn't a beginner.. and i'm 300 times better than I was... All I needed was someone to point me in a direction and help me through the bumps . My technique is by far better.. My speed has almost tripled. It's amazing what a experienced guitar player can do for you if they sit you down and explain things.. That's my $.02

paranoid & for whom the bell tolls................shit.......are they any good? the point is its no fun unless the song you pick is difficult.....it'll be more challenging.......try tornado of souls....it'll help a lot in soloing

He's right, Ozzy stuff will help you out, also what I did to learn to start palying faster and better is i played the solos to metallica liek the song one or the solo part on nothing else matters and at first it sounded horrible, but I played it everyday and at first i thought i would never get it so I just practiced and now Im pretty good at them. Iremmeebr how veryone was liek o practice will help just keep practicing and I didnbt htink it would do anyhting I would get pissed and just be liek i odnt think practicing will do shit but i guess it does work. Just stick with it. Hail!! and good luck!!

Yeah, the "Nothing Else Matters" song from "Metallica" is kind of hard when you first start out playing guitar but after a while you will get the hang of it. Or just do exersices liek go on 1st fret with first finger, second fret second finger, 3rd then 4th then go back to 3 2 1 and keep doing that with your 4 fingers and after a while it will get to to go fast and get the feel of things liek accuracy. (*thats what I did) It helped me out. Good Luck. Hail!!!!

Dont hate me but this is how i learned....try playing some nu like some fairly easy multi string fingering to get rid of retarded fingers and calus them up an shit then try shit im not bullshittin i started playin guitar sept this year...starts with red hot cunty peppers one finger note shit...then some korn little more advanced but if you play limp dickshit or linkin pork i will befored to kill you i never lowered myself to that... but serously try it now im playing soilwork, slayer, destruction no problem

The solo part isnt easy when you first start playing guitar dude, but for me now its easy as hell, yeah.

i dont know if anyone said this already because i skipped to the last reply but most (almost all) of the beginning of metallica songs are very easy. like the first classical parts of the like battery is easy, unforgiven, Nothing else matters. God i love those beginnings. depending on what skill lvl ur at u could skip to something like ...and justice for all.

good songs for rhythm practice?

just wondering if you guys have any suggestions for songs thatd help practicing on rhythm and complicated beats...
suicide nation by at the gates helped a bit for getting the correct approach to that kind of stuff but id like some other ones
(some iced earth maybe? dunno which one though)
i dont mind if its hard to play, actually, id love it

(i need practice on that...been playing around the higher frets too much and forgot my guitar actually has frets under 15 :P

try something like holy wars or killing is my business by megadeth. those should help.
